H. "Tuffy" Bryant of Bryant's Realty Agency of Rocky Mount, N.C. who was the First-Black Broker & Devel oper to have a Housing Pro gram approved by Both VA FHA in Eastern Carolina who also introduced the FHA-Hous-ing Program 235 in 1969 for Low Income Famines in the Rocky Mount area. A. H. Bryant states that his Realty Agency has just been given another commitment from the Federal Housing Ad ministration under program FHA-235 for $175,000 to build ten (10) homes in the various communities of Rocky Mount to help up-grade the black communities. Under FHA-235 Program, it permits low-income families to pur chase a home with no-down-payment and a closing out fee of only $200. The Federal Government will pay up to fifty (50) of your monthly payments, if the family has financial problems after mov ing in, and this amount will not have to be paid-back to the Federal Government. Dwe llings under this pro gram must be of modest cost but adequate design and con struction quality. This housing cannot be extravagant in de sign, cost or equipment, and should provide decent, safe and sanitary conditions in a ccor dance with FHA-Housing Stan dards, and local buidling codes. If you have several children you are assured of more help also because each child is worth $300 each and this will make your monthly payments smal ler. These houses (10) will be built in the various Negro-Com munities of Rocky Mount as requested by the Federal Hous ing Administration hoping that this will help motivate the peo ple to cleanup and have better communities. Bryant serves as Chairman Continued on Page 7B Black History Week is Noted At Whiffed By Michelle DeJarmon During the second week of February, we, the black pe ople of the United State celebrated Black History Week. Since the times have chang ed, so have ideas. Many of our elders knew this week as Na tional Negro History Week. While many of us in then 13 27 year bracket now refer to this week as Human Relations Week. The students of Whitted Ju nior High School have taken the attitude that it doesnt matter what you call it, it all relates to each other. Black History at Whitted brought about several learning expereinces. As it was put at Whitted, "A Mini-Black FeslL val" was created. The festival featured Black Art, Poetry, Music, Song and Dance. Along with these features was a film "Black Dime nsions in Ameri can Art." The students learned tha t not only could we do the dance or "robot" but modem dance could be done by. Blacks; "Sot only could we produce Gospel Songs, but like Ulysses Kay could produce lyllaby' and etc. Paintings by Black Artists were on display in the School Library as well. To further highlight the week, a prog ram produc ed by MesdamesCromartie, Eaton, Johnson, Umstead, Hughes and Perry was presented on Thurs day. The orosram was onened ! a dan Interpretation to the Lord's Prayer presented by the Modernettes. Miss Sheila Meadows informed the aud ience how Black History Week began. Later in the program poems written by James Wel-don- Johnson were read. The Creation, by Johnson, was a mong the poems. The Ninth grade Chorus sang three traditional Gospel and Spiritual songs and Miss Cheryl Spann recited "I Am A Negro." All in all the week made the students much more aware of the beautiful Black Heritage. Miss Debora Owens added to the week by winning the Human Relations Essay Contest. The. .topics were "Look What We've Done, Look What We Can Do, and Let's Get Us All Together. Miss Owens stressed that it is not just a racial prob lem holding us back but it was a people problem and we as a race of people, all of the hu man breed could make it work. The students of Whitted seem to want to make our human race work and with Continued on Page 7B BIT TB mkwM1mik,mm mwalmmmw, Mm.

"Contrary to popular belief Cleopatra was not a white wo man and never looked like Eli zabeth Taylor," says Chvke, who is interviewed on trie BLACK JOURNAL program, "Great Men of Color," which will be presented nationally on Tuesday, March 13 at 9:30 p. m. ove r the Public Broad Casting Service. (In New York City, the program airs on WNET13 at the same time.) The writer, educator and his torian, who is known interna tionally for his contributions to contemporary Balck culture' and Afro-American history, al so says that if Europeans had acknowledged that ancient E gypt was Black, "it would have thrown history all out of kilter." Clarke also tells BLACK JOURNAL that "most of us (Black historians) got our in formation from white radical writers." Clarke is associate professor of Hunter College's Black and Puerto Rican Studies Depart ment in New York City. He updated and supplied the bib liography for the two volume World's Great Men of Color," authored by the late Joel A. Rogers. Rogers devoted 50 years of his life researching the great figures of Black African de scent were primarily responsi ble in the development of na tions, civilizations and cultures. His books has to be private ly printed and circulated mainly in Black communities, bee ause the white-publishing houses did not want to publish the works the program notes. These two volumes - that were first privately published in 1947 - are considered the author's greatest achievements. Volume I of "World's Great Men of Color" describes the exploits of "Negroes" in Asia and Africa including such figures as Clitus, Afiricancom figures as Clitus, African com rade of Alexander the Great; and three of the greatest wo men rulers in history who were of Black ancestry. In Volume II, Rogers por trays the great Black men of Europe, Central and South A merica, the West Indies and the United States. They range from such diverse figures as Dufur the Magnificient; King of Egypt, to St. Benedict the Moor and Empe ror Ha He Selassie of present-day Ethiopia. The noted Biac k historian also comments on some l'.S. state laws that determine that individuals with "one drop of Black blood" are automa tically considered "Negroes." Says Clarke: "By this stupid law, we have a whole lot of white people who think they are white but they really be long to us." Other highlights of the 30 minute interview include a de nunciation of the word "Negro" By Clarke, who says : I miss CLARKE BALCK HISTORIAN John Henrik Clarke charges on the BLACK JOURNAL program of March 13 that Europeans have whitened-up" Black history, going back to ancient Egypt. The program, "Great Men of Color," will be presented at 9:30 p.m. over the Public Broadcasting Service and in New York City airs on WNET13 at the same time. the wod 'Negro' be cause it is an adjective that someone made a noun out of and slapped it on a people." Clarke says "race" is a man- made thing, coined by the psuedo-scientifk think of Europenas. He believes that migrations caused people to ac climate to new environments. In doing so, he notes, certain groups developed new physical attributes. SUPREME LIFE INSUR ANCE Company of America executives Weathers Y.

Plans To Reactivate Shepard Foundation To Be Discussed Plans to reac tivate the James E. Shepa rd Memorial Foundation as the James E. Shepard Fund of the North Carolina Central Univer sity Foundation will be discus sed at an open meeting at 3:30 pjn., Sunday, Ma rch 11, in the Alfonso Elder Student Union Building at NCCU. Invitations to the meeting have been mailed to NCCU alumni and friends in the Dur ham area. The foundation, named for the founder of the University, wa 8 chartered in 1949. For 20 years, the foundation actively sought and disbursed scholar ship mone y to students at NC- iCU. The deaths of Dr. James T. Taylor and Sr. J. M. Hub bard Sr. left the foundation without an executive secretary or a president. Because of a charter provi sion requiring at least 25 annual members of the foundation to vote on any changes in the operation of the foundation, the board of the foundation, reduced to fewer than 12 mem bers, has been inactive since the deaths of Dr. Taylor and Dr. Hubbard. Board members still living have proposed to merge the foundation with the NCCU foundation, chartered in 1972. The assets remaining in the foundation would become the nucleus of the J ames. E. Shepard Fund, whose purpose would become the same as those of the original founda tion. The invitation to alumni and friends to assist in the re constitution of the foundation wa s made by H. M. Michaux president of the Shepard foun dation, William P. M alone , dk ector of .development at NCCU and acting exe cutive director of the foundation, and Lawere nce G.
